Frustration and Craving

Daisy I know that you don't want to smoke, you know that you will feel terrible if you do...Just hold on and remember that a cigarette changes nothing...That is one of the biggest junkie lies going...It only changes your perceptions for the a brief time...And then will demand that you repeat the behavior over and over again, until your body and mind are in jeopardy...Hold on tightly, YOU CAN DO THIS... nonic [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 108 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,611 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $756 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 20 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

Daisy, You can and will get through this. Just think tomorrow you will be smoke free for a whole month! It helps me not to think of giving up smoking for the rest of my life, just for the next 5 minutes, then the next 5 minutes and so on. Each craving will come and go wether you smoke or not- let's make it NOT! Hang in there, we are all rooting for you!

Daisy, This can be tough! Make sure you relax your body as it is going through many changes and healing. Reward yourself for 30 days and see that you are doing this. Push forward and persevere through those bad days. Post often and let us guide you on this positive path :) Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.

Hi this is Daisy, again. This is the first time I post/write on this site. The support is amazing. You all brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for responding and supporting and helping me move on. And yes, I find the milage meter great. I am always so suprised to see how many cigarettes I did NOT smoke!!!!

Hi Daisy - Hold on very tight, you can do this! Stress will always be there, my friend. Make sure that there's nothing in the house to light up... Many blessings - you are doing beautifully!

I had a very bad evening last night. I almost lit up. I have been feeling frustrated for the past 4 to 5 days because of work and home situations. Last night I almost gave up, and lit up, but I didn't and today I am glad I didn't.Although some phases are difficult!!
